The Douay-Rheims Bible is a timeless translation that continues to inspire and guide Catholics around the world.
The Douay-Rheims Bible has stood the test of time and has been a cornerstone of Catholic tradition for centuries. The purpose of this version, both the text and notes, was to uphold Catholic tradition in the face of the Protestant Reformation, which had dominated Elizabethan religion. It was an effort by English Catholics to support the Counter-Reformation and to provide an alternative to Protestant translations.
The Douay-Rheims Bible was the standard English translation used by Catholics for almost four hundred years. It predated the King James Bible and influenced its phraseology. Bishop Richard Challoner revised the entire text over three years to ensure correctness and readability. Many believe that the Douay-Rheims Bible is more accurate than any modern Bible. It remains a timeless translation that continues to inspire and guide Catholics worldwide.
